Announcement
February 11, 2019 - It's been a while! We've been busy with shows, and developed our own little space on the inter-web. Stop by www.temperedraven.com to see our latest news and more products!

July 31 - We are keeping busy in the shop as we prepare for a show at the end of September. We will be launching a new website before the end of the summer, so keep an eye out for a post! Stay cool!

March 7, 2017 - It's been a while since we posted an update! We took a break during the Winter months. Now, we are getting busy again with new designs. We will be participating in a few shows and traveling to new ones throughout the year. Stay tuned as we release our new blades!

November 27 - Shopping season is upon us! If you want a unique gift for family or friends, look no further. Any questions, send us a message or email to info [!at] temperedraven.com!

July 20 - Hello all! We've been busy in the shop working on custom orders and new designs. If you have any questions about custom blades, please don't hesitate to ask!

June 29 - Summer is here! We are making room for new blade styles. Check out our new prices, and look for new styles throughout the Summer!

May 1 - It's hard to believe that May has arrived! The shop was cleaned and organized this week, and we were able to plan out a few more pieces. We hope to have more unique knives to show you by next week. If anyone has ideas on custom knives, feel free to message us. We'd love to hear from you!

April 23 - Welcome to Tempered Raven! We at Tempered Raven believe that a blade is more than just a weapon or a display piece; we believe it is a tool. Each piece that we produce, whether it is hand-crafted or hand-forged, serves a purpose for its owner. And much like any other tool, whether practical or ceremonial, it should be reliable and long lasting. That's why we pour our sweat and tears (and sometimes blood) into each blade until they are hardened and tempered for use and abuse. But just because our blades are meant to be used, doesn't mean they shouldn't look good too; which is why we put our attention into details like our handles, stippling, or the trueness of each blade. Only through dedication to the purpose of each piece do we remain true to our craft.

Our maker's mark

From hobby to business

What started as a hobby for Jake of Tempered Raven, soon became serious. For his birthday a little over a year ago, his sister, Candice, and brother-in-law, Sean, purchased an anvil, and had it delivered to Tempered Raven's shop. He was told now is the time, and Tempered Raven went to work. Relatively new to knife crafting, we at Tempered Raven believe that a blade is not just a weapon or display piece. It is a tool, hand-crafted or hand-forged to serve a purpose. We believe this tool should be reliable and long lasting, something that can be passed down through generations. That is why we pour our sweat and tears (and sometimes blood) into each blade. Only through dedication to the purpose of each piece do we remain true to our craft.
